Where You Are: a play by Kristen Da Silva
2026-02-20 19:30 - 21:30, 2026-02-19 19:30 - 21:30 | Theatre in the Wings, 30 Bridge Street East, Belleville, K8N 1L6
Join us for a new Canadian comedy that’s as heartwarming as it is hilarious. The place is a porch in Little Current on Manitoulin Island, where city-transplants Glenda and Suzanne have lived together since Suzanne arrived single, penniless and pregnant thirty-three years previous. One is warm and industrious and the other brash and prone to late mornings, but the sisters are devoted to one another and spend laughter-filled days swapping stories about the locals and roping their appealing veterinarian neighbour, Patrick into various chores. This summer, an imminent visit from Suzanne’s daughter is about to complicate things. Amid a busy reunion week, the women are eventually forced to confront truths that will change all four lives forever. Where You Are is a hilarious and honest exploration of family, forgiveness and falling in love.
“A story about family that is at once laugh-out-loud funny and as warm as an August evening. ” — Norm Foster
